Chapter 963: Chapter 409: The Truly Wealthy_2
As soon as Zhou Yuwen and the others ca in, Sun Juan asked when they had arrived.
“You silly girl, you really have no manners. Didn’t even let know when you arrived,” Sun Juan reprimanded her daughter.
Tang Xinrou said no.
“Mainly, Sister Xinyi and her husband wanted to take a stroll around the yard.”
“Oh! How was the stroll?”
For Sun Juan, their small estate was indeed sothing to show off, so she was very enthusiastic, smiling and saying they were welco to co play anyti they liked.
Then she started rambling about so other things. Like how the garden’s design was by a special designer from Europe, and how they had entertained various guests, including a crown prince from the Middle East who had visited their ho.
After all this chatter, it was mainly Sun Juan speaking with fervor, but no one around seed interested to listen; Zhou Yuwen was definitely not keen.
Seeing four people playing mahjong, Zhou Yuwen thought to himself how their level wasn’t great.
Compared to Sun Juan’s boisterous personality, Liu Jing truly displayed more poise. Among the four middle-aged won there, their figures had either beco shapeless or shriveled, all relying on exquisite jewelry to mask their aging.
Only Liu Jing stood out among them, her posture still upright, focused on her cards as she played, without saying much else.
Sun Juan saw Zhou Yuwen watching the group play mahjong and asked, “Yuwen, do you play?”
Zhou Yuwen said he knew a little but wasn’t familiar with the rules here.
“Aren’t mahjong rules the sa everywhere? Why don’t you co over and play a couple rounds with your future mother-in-law?” Sun Juan joked.
The others also laughed along.
It seed agreed upon that Zhou Yuwen was destined to be Liu Jing’s son-in-law.
Zhou Yuwen shook his head, politely refusing, saying he wasn’t that good and didn’t want to make a fool of himself.
Sun Juan was just speaking off the cuff, and after that, Tang Xinrou suggested they have so snacks prepared in the kitchen, and if there was nothing else, they’d take Zhou Yuwen and the others out for afternoon tea.
Sun Juan nodded, saying to go ahead.
Then the three younger ones left.
They sat on another terrace on the second floor, having tea and chatting for a while. Tang Xinrou seed more reserved compared to Sun Juan, but being mother and daughter, she still had a bit of the urge to boast.
For example, while having tea, she kept talking about experiences abroad and kept suggesting, “Sister Xinyi, you really should go abroad and see for yourself.”
Jiang Xinyi replied, “I’m already going to be 26 soon, where would I find the ti to go abroad? In a couple of years, I’ll be getting married.”
As she said this, Jiang Xinyi stole a glance at Zhou Yuwen.
Tang Xinrou chuckled and said, “Going abroad for study doesn’t delay marriage. With your excellent academics, you’d definitely thrive better abroad. I can keep an eye on your husband here, so when you finish your studies, you can co back and get married, isn’t that nice!”
Jiang Xinyi said, co on.
“I barely manage to keep an eye on him myself; how could you do it?”
“Oh, is brother-in-law that difficult to handle? Is there so juicy gossip? Tell !” Tang Xinrou teased, looking at Zhou Yuwen.
Tang Xinrou really wanted to hear so gossip, as Jiang Xinyi had gotten herself such a handso and dashing boyfriend—there must be stories. She kept eyeing Zhou Yuwen with a smile.
Zhou Yuwen, looking bewildered, said, “What’s there to gossip about? If you really want to talk stories, your sister’s ex-boyfriend has way more tales than I do.”
“My sister even had an ex-boyfriend!”
This left Tang Xinrou shocked, looking at Jiang Xinyi with disbelief.
Jiang Xinyi initially planned to tease Zhou Yuwen, but didn’t expect to be countered, leaving her speechless.
anwhile, Tang Xinrou expressed her interest, saying eagerly, “Co on, tell , what kind of ex-boyfriend was it?”
“Are you still thinking about him, sister?”
“What nonsense are you talking!”
This comnt made Jiang Xinyi keep rolling her eyes. Observing Zhou Yuwen’s expression, she insisted that it couldn’t even be counted as an ex-boyfriend.
“At most, just a good male friend,” Jiang Xinyi finally said after thinking for a while, finding a more fitting term.
But Zhou Yuwen replied, “Oh, so you also had a good male friend, huh?”
Jiang Xinyi was completely lost for words, shyly wanting to pinch Zhou Yuwen’s flesh.
Watching them show off their affection in front of her, Tang Xinrou found it quite amusing.
Jiang Xinyi kept saying it was all in the past.
“Besides, don’t talk about , okay? Didn’t you also have ex-girlfriends? I only had one ex-boyfriend, while you had two ex-girlfriends!”
“Oh?”
Tang Xinrou continued to dig for more gossip. Zhou Yuwen said, how can that be the sa?
“They were also just good female friends.”
“You…”
These words made Jiang Xinyi blush. She wanted to argue back with Zhou Yuwen but couldn’t find the right words, so she just bit her lip and glared at him.
Then Tang Xinrou’s phone rang.
It was Sun Juan calling, saying that one of the mahjong players had left.
She asked Zhou Yuwen to co play a couple of rounds.
Zhou Yuwen said he wasn’t very skilled.
But Sun Juan enthusiastically insisted it was fine, just to keep them company, especially his mother-in-law.
“Mainly to accompany your mother-in-law!”
At this point, voices on the other end coaxed Liu Jing to speak.
Liu Jing then invited Zhou Yuwen to try playing.
Zhou Yuwen said, alright then.
Actually, when one of their mahjong friends left, the ga should have ended.
It seed Sun Juan wasn’t ready to stop, so she suggested Zhou Yuwen co over and see how he did at the ga.
Liu Jing was naturally opposed at first.
But Sun Juan said, a person’s character is shown at the mahjong table.
The young man looks nice, but you can’t tell what he’s like at the table.
